Let's start from the toner...

PURE FOCUS
Matifying Purifying LotionTightens Pores

This bi-phase toner (water and powder) is the perfect finishing touch to makeup removal. It tones and purifies your skin, removing any traces of makeup and leaving pores perfectly clean. It matifies by absorbing excess sebum to eliminate shine.Your skin is clean, fresh and matt ready for its daily skincare treatment.

The toner is really good. The touch and after application is so much different from cheap brands like Johnson and Johnson. It also come in a big bottle that will last for a long long time.

After tonning will be application of pore reducer and mositurer. I can't find a picture of the pore reducer but I still want to comment about it. The pore reducer really works after 1st application. Your pores can be seen significantly reduced. It dont really work for me now cos I'm too lazy to appky it day and night. I only apply it when I'm wearing make-up.

PURE FOCUS
Moisturising Lotion

Ideal moisturizing and perfect shine control thanks to this fresh, non-greasy, water-light fluid that absorbs immediately into the skin for a soft, powder fresh finish. A pure caress for oily skin, leaving it perfectly hydrated all day long.

The best thing about this mosturer is that it's water-baesed. Most moisturer are oil-based and they made your face feels more oily. This water-based mositurer gives you a refreshing feeling.

Now comes the concealer and foundation...

FLASH RETOUCHE
Perfecting Brush-On Concealer Radiance & Anti-Fatigue

Suitable for contact lens wearers.An anti-dark circle complexion "perfecter" that lights up dull areas of your face and smoothes your features for a healthy glow. The high-precision brush increases the anti-fatigue effect and diminishes imperfections.An instant burst of freshness for your face!
2.5 ml brush applicator


The concealer is more for concealing of eye bags to pimples and scares. The colour is comparatively lighter so it won't cover the pimples as well as other concealer. The reasons of me using it:
1) It belongs to my sis and she don't want to use it anymore.
2) I like the casing very much. It just look so classy.
I'm a very surface person... Hee

Transparency or seduction, discretion or iridescence… choose your look from this collection of silky-textured powder blushes. Try BLUSH SUBTIL, in a range of best-selling, classic shades, BLUSH SUBTIL SHEER for a natural look, or BLUSH SUBTIL SHIMMER for a radiant glow.

AMPLICILS WATERPROOF
Full Dimension Volume Mascara

Lash-glamour that never lets you down.
Amplifies, curls and separates lashes in just one stroke. It's ultimate volume that resists everything, including rain, tears and sports...
Live, laugh, be active, your eyes keep their intense look, for absolute glamour

It's definitely the best mascara in town but it works real well with my favourite eye shadow making my eyes look bigger.

My favourite eye shadow currently is from Red Earth, a present from Grace and Jasmine. The brown eye shadow makes wonder. It not only give your eyes a smoky feeling but also makes your eyes look bigger. But you must be extremely careful when putting it on. If not, people will think that you're being punched before you step out of house.

Lips....

JUICY ROUGE
Lasting Juicy Shine Lipcolour

A range of ultra-shiny and transparent colours like water in a small jewel of bag with hologram effects. Meltingly soft and subtly flavoured with a hint of fruity sweetness, the light, the moisturising formula adorns the lips with a long-lasting, wet-look colour for a luscious look that lasts for hours.

JUICY TUBES
Lip Gloss Ultra Shiny

A delicious, gourmet delight for your lips! This ultra-brilliant, flavoured gloss slicks on easily, thanks to its handy tube-tip applicator. Totally transparent shine, plus a hint of shimmering colour makes lips glisten for a glamorous lacquered effect.

The lipstick goes super well with the Juicy Tube making you lips super kissable. Even without he gloss, the lipstick itself already have the shimmering effect. With the gloss, your lips will look very glossy. Plus Juicy Tubes come in lots of flavour, I'm currently using the lychee flavour. The only bad thing about the gloss is it's super sticky. So it will be rather messing when you have long untied hair.

After putting on all the makeup, a good makeup remover is also neccessary.

GALATÉIS CLARTÉ
Gentle Clarifying and Cleansing Fluid
Face and Eyes

A water-light lotion for fast, thorough cleansing that removes even the most stubborn makeup. Foundation, blush, mascara and lipstick all dissolve and disappear on contact! Leaves skin feeling clean and fresh, soft and supple. It’s extremely gentle formula can even be used to remove eye makeup.

Though it say it can be used for both eyes and face, my advice is to use it for the FACE only. As the remover is in fluid form, it gets into the eyes easily. The removing effect it's good and remove most makeup off after first cleansing.

For the eyes, I always used a different remover. There the one...

BI-FACIL
Non Oily Instant Cleanser for Sensitive
Eyes

This fresh-as-water eye makeup remover offers instant, gentle cleansing. It's effective, bi-phase formula activates when shaken and easily removes all traces of eye makeup (even waterproof), while leaving no oily residue.

Though it says it's non-oily, but I tink it's super oily. People wearing contact lens, please remove you lens before you remove ur masacra. But the eyes remover is really very good. All masacra come off in one wipe.

All product can be found on www.lancome.com.sg. The website also include video teaching you how to apply their products.
